The story
For several years, the sisters had a sewing workshop in Anacortes, Washington where they created plush bunnies in different outfits, each with its own name and a short section of verse.
During the economic downturn, the sisters were joined by Jeanne-Ming Hayes as a third founder. Together they redirected the company to its present focus on gifts for babies and toddlers.
In February 2013, Kids Preferred acquired Bunnies by the Bay. In July 2019, Bunnies By The Bay separated from Kids Preferred and returned to the original owners.
